Things We Worried About in 2015

This list of 2015 topical issues tackles the things that made all of us incredibly nervous in the year of 2015. It's never easy to track the concerns of millions, but in 2015 public worry over measles, Donald Trump, and the drought in California was at an all-time high. Should we still be worried about these things? Probably. But for now, let’s just consider them solely 2015 issues.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign wasn’t the only worrisome political issue that was trending in 2015. All of the politicians who sought to defund Planned Parenthood this year scared a lot of women. The number of West-Kardashians, meanwhile, continued to climb at an alarming rate. From Sharknado 3 to the return of the Ice Bucket Challenge, terrifying events blew up on social media and scared the hell out of all of us.

The news media hyped up the fear when it came to Iran’s nuclear deal, the total collapse of the Greek economy and, of course, the retirement of John Stewart and Dave Letterman signalling the end of late night as we know it. With all of these worries, how will we go on? By voting up the most worrisome issues in 2015 and adding any pressing concerns that aren't on the list yet.
